Description
The August Wilson Theatre’s 1925 building has hosted productions like Jersey Boys, Mean Girls, and the 2021 revival of Funny Girl, and now houses CABARET at the Kit Kat Club. Renamed in honor of August Wilson in 2005, it is the first Broadway house to bear a Black playwright’s name. The theater’s historic character and sightlines earn praise, though seating and lobby areas feel tight. Reviewers also note it can be cool inside — worth a sweater.
